it looked a lot like that when our 3 vans went out :-)

I just can't help myself.

Contractor rack, cut and weld to make it fit how you want

I’ve had this model for 4 years, it works well.

LOLZ, I wish that I owned a horse so that I could say Tally Ho too. I'll just have to stick with "F@cking start you sh!t lump of junk" :-)

England, South Yorkshire. We camped our vans up on a farm which was a popular stop over for hikers and back packers. This farm had escaped pigs which completely destroyed a poor campers tent because they had left their packed food on the floor of the tent. never try to take food from a pig, it...

..and thankfully NONE of my knives have a bear grills signature

To date I have had installed an Eberspacher 1.7Kw, a mikuni 2Kw and the latest is a chinese no brand 5Kw which is a direct copy of the Eberspacher D4 with chinese controllers. to date, the chinese jobbie has far exceded my expectations considering it's 150 quid price tag. Not only are these...

<quote> Anyone willing to offer their expertise is greatly appreciated. </quote> In my experience, keep that bloody door closed and the fire lit. Always keep the stew pot topped up. Bring enough beer and wine to last until spring. ...alternatively...is there a meet up in Seville at that time of...

I have no idea what these vans are being from the UK, I do know that a full sized USA van is feckin' HUGE compared to our UK large vans. So, in that context, the UK large van ( USA mid) will be very comfortable for a family of 4 and can include a toilet and shower. Now imagine my van in...

mid sized, fits in more places at the expense of internal van space. I'd go mid.

Been to Overland Adventure Show ...I generally don't do shows ...that was an exception. My clan and I usually travel/camp in convoy. Yes I have a banjo, no we have NOT eaten any strangers.

I'm from Yorkshire, the biggest county in the land. Hello :-) NC500 in winter sounds both delightful and nightmarish. bonus is no midges. downside is freeze to death any time after August 10th in northern Scotland. Roads and landscape become one, no idea where you are driving as snow drifts mask...

Landlubber, only you could answer your own question with any real success. Anyone else can only suggest what they already use where they are. Your wanderings and climate changes are way different to mine. FWIW, I run BFG K02 winter tyres, M+S all year around.

can't beat a cast iron skillet. Bacon, eggs and all the gubbins with a good pot of strong, sweet tea on a morning.

Ronnie Sunshines ( there are other brands ) did a cast iron kit not so long ago. 1 gallon dutch oven, 10 inch skillet, a lid lifter, a tripod and chain and a few other odds and sods all in a nice wooden carry case. bargain for 60 UK pounds.

Jambalaya and then cobbler for desert, all in cast iron dutch ovens over a wood fire. Leave those brickettes for the backyard grillers.

It don't really matter how little it costs. If your vehicles does what you expect it to do and your gear does the job you want it to do...you're all set and good to go. It works for me.

I'd have replaced that spare too. I don't like the thought of having a dubious item on my van and having to rely on it in the middle of nowhere. good choice.

it's difficult to imagine the perfect dual battery setup. Technologies and personal budgets change just as you think you have tweaked yours to perfection :-(
